Laws Of Motion Question 104

Question: A 60 kg body is pushed with just enough force to start it moving across a floor and the same force continues to act afterwards. The coefficient of static friction and sliding friction are 0.5 and 0.4 respectively. The acceleration of the body is

Options:

A) 6m/s2

B) 4.9m/s2

C) 3.92m/s2

D) 1m/s2

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

Limiting friction =μsR=μsmg=0.5×60×10=300 N Kinetic friction =μkR=μkmg=0.4×60×10=240 N Force applied on the body = 300 N and if the body is moving then, Net accelerating force=Applied force ? Kinetic frictiontherefore ma=300240=60

a=6060=1 m/s2
